Thankful for my family. Love these guys.

A Quick Weekend Excursion

A few weeks ago (well, maybe more than a few - but someone's a little behind on blogging), William and I met Nathan and Laura for a quick camping trip.

Nathan and Laura are paddling the Alabama Scenic River Trail (hopefully wrapping that up by Christmas), so William and I met them on the river. We loaded our canoe and their boats on our car and drove to the nearest town for them to replenish supplies and wash clothes. We were stocked with the essentials for two people who have been camping for weeks: Jack's biscuits, coffee, Diet Coke, Doritos, beer and fresh fruits & veggies.

Our campsite.

Besties.

Bon Voyage friends. Tell the Gulf of Mexico hello for us.

More Halloween...

We are continuing to celebrate Halloween On Broadway. Sydney decided she wanted a cat pumpkin this year so, she and William did a little pumpkin carving after Brooklyn was in bed last night.

Spoiler Alert...

We hosted our Mama & Me Halloween party this morning at our house. All of the kids came dressed in their costumes (a dry run, I suppose) and looked fantastic. All of the moms brought festive food, which was delicious. And, as always, fun parties always come with a little bit of chaos (at least for me)...

Has anyone seen Sydney?
Is this Brooklyn's cup?
Who's silver gloves are these?
Can you hold Brooklyn while I change Sydney's diaper?
Can we count this food as lunch?

Here is Sydney joyfully sporting her giraffe costume. I was quite sure two months ago when she chose to be a giraffe, she would change her mind. But, no - here she is still all smiles with her choice.

And here is Brooklyn in her pumpkin costume. A little grumpy having been awakened from her nap a tad early and thrust into a pumpkin costume and a house full of kids.

Nothing a donut can't fix, right?

Lots of fun with good friends!

And here is the best attempt at a group picture. Notice that there are several children missing and parts of costumes are missing. We should have tried this at the beginning of the party instead of the end!

A complete success - thanks to all for coming!

The Great Pumpkin Patch

William and I took the girls to Hayden, AL to a place called The Great Pumpkin Patch. It was complete with giant bounce houses, boiled peanuts, a petting zoo, barns, and most importantly a covered wagon filled with hay. Yes, that's right - a covered wagon took us out to a pumpkin patch where we picked two pumpkins and then carried us back.

Great pumpkin patch, indeed.
